Here are the finished versions of Canadian Prairies. There are four versions of the map, 2 for each version (no twc)

It has trees that get progressively more dense as you approach the bottom of the map. The resources try to stay as symmetrical as possible

We'll see. I can't really make any promises, all I can do is keep filling out requests and talking to others about it. (well and proposing it to the other map guys) If people like a map in particular it is helpful to be vocal about it. Maybe start a thread etc and take votes on it. A silent majority won't get maps into the EP, community requests (probably) will.

The more maps the better. It would be amazing to have like 100 maps, it would be so exciting to select random maps and have so much unexplored territory :D

To be fair you don't need to know a map much to be able to play on it. Just a general idea of where some hunts could be found can be advantageous I suppose. That is if the treasure and livestock spawns aren't ultra consistent like on some maps.

I'm already on thin ice because I keep crossing site-staff, but I agree this sentiment!! MORE MAPS

@durokan

I just playtested Canadian Prairies, in our game the trade route couldnt be upgraded! idk if thats intentional, but it wanst a good surprise when I finished my 3rd tp and couldnt find the upgrade xD
but the map overall felt really good, should be fixed and included in the rated pool imo!

I also played the blackforrest in 1v1, but there was a problem with my friends lower spec computer that coulndt handle so many trees. I would sugest removing some of the unreachable trees, making a clif there on the back, just to reduce the amount of objects in the map, without affecting the current gameplay.


and great job on those maps! thanks!

Yeah, aoe3 doesnt manage alot of objects well due to the fact that it only uses 1 core on the cpu. Each tree is an individual object.

I really like it, just need to download the png and upload it to a file sharing site and then put it at the top of the workshop. If you've got a direct link it would be easier on my end. Thanks for making it for me!

@Durokan

Canadian Praries is looking perfect, and is exactly what I wanted. There are 2 bugs with the map so far I have been able to discern from a game. First off, the trade route cannot be upgraded. I think this is due to the tp sockets being asian, and there being an American travois guy. Also, I think you're missing the xs file for the scaling TAD version.

@Durokan

I have a new idea for a map, well really maps. What my idea is is to have one map that is very standard that has three different spawns, winter, summer, and fall. The map would be called Coastal Plains. Its layout would essentially be that of silk road or High Plains, except with non silk road trading posts and no natives. Essentially, I want this map to be a very standard, basic map, that isn't boring because of the three different spawns. This map would be a good map for competitive play, due to its moderate resources, TP's, and generally basic layout.

Hunts: A starting patch of deer, that are fixed like on TAD maps. A second herd of deer would be quite close, but the third herd would be pretty far away. The total hunts and their placement should be pretty much the same as they are on silk road, except for them being consistent.

Trees: Medium sized patches here or there, pretty standard.

Mines: Guaranteed first and second mine. The first should be in the front of your TC, and the second one should be behind, if that is possible. There should a fair number of mines around the map, maybe 2 more than Silk Road.

Trading Posts: There should be a winding trading route going through the center of the map, like high plains, except with 3 TP's in 1v1, and 6 in Team. No Natives.

Tile Set: The map should use the Carolina set in spring, the New England one in the fall spawn, and the Rockies one in the winter spawn.

Treaures: This map would use the Carolina treasure set

Other features:
- The map would scale dynamically, and there would be a 1v1 OBS version also.

@Darwin_

Fixed the trading post bug, I was defining the TP's as "water" TP's as opposed to "dirt" TP's and because that is a legitimate definition it was giving me an error. I must have copied it from a different template than I normally use, sorry for the trouble!

I am also only allowed 7 files per post so even though I added canadia.xs it didn't add it and didn't tell me. :/ Thanks for catching that, due to that constraint the Vanilla Files will be hosted on this post

Here is the finished version of Savanna.
Image

I could only fit one post on the island with keeping it this size. I got pretty much everything else you asked though, random lions and missionaries included. I have two versions of the map attached because the grass causes lots of lag. (And has an absurd load time). I have the grass one in a reasonably playable state on my computer; adding more grass will significantly increase load times and decrease performance. If your computer can handle it, I can add more, but I won't be able to test the effects super well on my end. (waiting 5 minutes is too long for me when loading for minuscule changes)

Will adjust/fix things if needed; I didn't follow instructions exactly.
